“There is rarely one visual experience of an image but rather a series of encounters that shift depending on how and from where the image is viewed…”

Carrie Iverson and Jeremy Scidmore will use the techniques of printing and kiln formed glass to investigate these shifting perspectives creating images that do not describe a single viewpoint but are multi-layered descriptions of an object or idea.

Using a scientific model of research and focused experimentation, students will learn strategies to develop new work. We will move through a series of exercises to collect, cull, produce, edit and then
refine material. Processes include drawing, photography, printmaking on glass, and open-faced kiln casting of textures and found objects.

Field trips around Lybster will provide inspiration while new assignments, exercises and discussions each day will build on and refine previous skills. In addition to learning printmaking for glass and glass kiln casting, students will develop research practices and strategies for refinement that can be applied to any art form.

This class is appropriate for all levels.
